About the only way to do this on PC display hardware is to read the current
background image (using _getimage()) into a scratch save buffer, then use
_putimage(,,,_GPSET) to force your new image onto the screen.  Then, when
you want to move your image, you first use _putimage(,,,_GPSET) to replace
the previous background image (using the saved image from the scratch buffer)
and then repeating the previous _getimage()/_putimage() at the new location.
